According to his official Twitter account (@MrGeorgeWallace), George Wallace mentioned today that all active duty military will receive a free ticket to his comedy show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas by showing your military ID at the box office.  Prices for this show start at $49.95.  He is considered "The New Mr. Las Vegas" by the Las Vegas Review Journal and reviews for his show say it is the "best comedy show in town."  The Las Vegas Weekly goes on to say that "his gifted improvisation makes it one of those rare shows that really is different every time you see it."  Next time you are in Vegas, stop by the Flamingo Tuesday through Thursday for a free show!  "When you come to Las Vegas, you got a choice, you can go see the Blue Man, or you can come see the Black Man." -George Wallace

If you've made the resolution to lose weight this year like thousands of other people, here is a place you can get started.  I recently found a New Balance Factory Store near the Ontario Mills Shopping Center.  They have a decent selection of shoes for running, trail running, hiking, and walking all at very affordable prices.  You can also find workout clothes, running shorts, warm-ups, socks, and jackets.  Make this your first stop in preparing to lose that weight and start working out.  The best part?  They always offer a 20% military discount with no minimum purchase!
